Fashion Icons Love These Eight Naked Supermodels

Love magazine puts eight naked supermodels on eight different covers of its third bi-annual edition. The "Fashion Icons" issue shows how different these supermodels' measurements are.


Standing naked on the covers in the same pose (legs wide apart and both arms raised to reveal the armpit), the eight supermodels are chosen because they "represent the ideal of beauty in fashion today."

The eight (8) supermodels who come in various sizes are:

1. Kate Moss
2. Daria Werbowy
3. Jeneil Williams
4. Amber Valletta
5. Natalia Vodianova
6. Naomi Campbell
7. Lara Stone
8. Kristen McMenamy

Love editor Katie Grand explains:

"For this issue of LOVE, we took eight women who are generally acknowledged as the most beautiful in the world, got them to show off their bodies - widely regarded as the most perfect in the world - and photographed them all in exactly the same position for the cover. We did this to show how much they differed physically from one another, which is why we also printed their measurements.

"The point is that 'perfection' is not fixed, timeless or transcendent. It varies, as the measurements of our cover girls show."

These eight ideal beauties may come in different sizes and colors, but note that they do not represent all women (no plus-sized, Hispanic, Asian or Middle Eastern). They all have great legs, they stand tall at a minimum height of 5'6.5", they are essentially flawless and yes, they are the "supermodels."

The eight Love covers are photographed by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot and will go on sale in one week's time - Monday February 8 - priced £5.

Now which of these supermodels will make the highest profit for the magazine? That could hint us the most-sought-after beauty today, from the point of view of readers.

Natalia Vodianova's Modeling Success After Giving Birth

For most models, giving birth could mean a forthcoming lame career in modeling. This, however, is not true for the Russian supermodel Natalia Vodianova whose success as a model soared high after giving birth to her first son.



Two months after giving birth to her first son Lucas, Natalia Vodianova was back on the runway, becoming one of the most sought-after model:

"My agency thought that I might never do shows, because I was a bit shorter and not skinny enough. But what happened was, when I gave birth to my first son I was 19, so I lost a lot of weight. I guess the stress on the body was extreme and I suddenly just turned into this stick - just the way designers love models - and after Lucas was born that's when my career took off. I opened a lot of shows on the runway and that's where stars are made in my industry."

The gorgeous supermodel shares more of this body hang-ups on the June issue of Vogue UK. Ironically for Natalia Vodianova's "perfect" body, the magazine's special body issues usually feature non-model figures like curvy Beyoncé. The message is that all women, and not just models, are lovely and worth celebrating.
